- JimtheCoder 3y agoIt would probably be a good idea to have different groups/regulations for civil and military tech. Trying to get people with very divergent goals to operate under a common set of guidelines seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Just my opinion...
- ilaksh 3y agoThe divergence being one group attempts to build hyperspeed superintelligent AI command, control, and swarm deployment as fast as possible for purposes of global dominance, whereas another group uses it responsibly to help society. You're right, of course the US and China should keep strict separation between moral and strategic concerns. That has always led to a safer world in the past. "Trying to get people with very divergent goals to operate under a common set of guidelines seems like a disaster waiting to happen." -- you think it's safer for the US and China to NOT work under common guidelines and instead race for world domination by deploying the most powerful superintelligent AI-enhanced military force??
- JimtheCoder 3y agoI should have been more clear - civil entities should be one group and have one set of guidelines, and military entities should be another group and have another set of guidelines (US, China, World)
- ilaksh 3y agoYou were perfectly clear and 100% wrong. Treating these things as separate concerns will result in hundreds of millions of deaths.
